About This Quiz

You should already feel safer know that a cat is guarding your soul. Recent research has shown that common housecats share the same killer instincts as their bigger counterparts. Luckily for us, they are not big enough to turn us into Meow Mix. It's this very ferociousness that makes them wonderful soul guardians.

Before we can figure out which color of cat keeps you out of harm's way, we're going to have to get to know you as well as your pets. Through a series of questions, we'll get to know your soul better than your guardian angel. Then, we'll figure out which cat makes sure the mice stay far out in your field.

Whether your soul is guarded by an orange cat, a black cat or a cat of many colors can depend on a lot of things. As we claw our way into your psyche, please keep in mind that we are simply trying to help. Once you know what color cat guards your soul, you can envision it and summon it whenever you need it. We also recommend naming it, but we'll leave that one up to you.
